    You can't play violent video games.

    Thanks, worldtraveller! Btw, are we for real here?

  • worldtraveller

    For the mostpart, yes. There are some trolls, and spammers-a few troublemakers too. Most here have a story to tell. Why not tell us yours? (unless you have already).

    Hi and welcome Gotcha Baby. Hope you enjoy it here and yes most of us are for REAL and here because we need support and wish to give support to others who have left the LIE and found the TRUTH. How about you????

    Thanks for the input for the LIST. I am trying to compile as much as I can for MYSPACE profile I have about being an EXJW. I can't believe how long the list is and I am sure there is more.

    Myspace profile is at http://www.myspace.com/velvet14 Its about being an Exjw and also the challenge of having been newly diagnosed with MS

    NOT sure about the 2 door car but I am sure it is frowned on not to think of "The Service" when purchasing one. You made me laugh when you said that. Being Real, For sure!!!

    I am thinking of adding You can't be Gay/Homosexual

    Do they come right out and Say NO Oral SEX also? I always thought we weren't allowed but I never saw an actual thing in writing about it.

    An unmentioned rule I believe. NO TIPPING, unless it's our jar.
